Horror car crash that killed boys is latest tragedy to hit college after two other students died within weeks
The deaths of four boys who died while on a trip to Snowdonia, came just weeks after two other tragedies hit the same college.
The bodies of friends Jevon Hirst and Harvey Owen, both 16, Wilf Fitchett, 17, and Hugo Morris, 18, were found after a search on Tuesday.
The boys all studied at Shrewsbury College where two other pupils had also recently lost their lives just days apart.
Alfie McCormick, 18, and Ben Worrall, 17, died on early October, and many of the students at the college were said to still be grieving when the latest tragedy occurred this week, their local vicar has said.
Speaking to the Sun newspaper, the Reverend Charlotte Gompertz, vicar of a Shrewsbury church, said: “It is a huge sixth form college where all people go round here.
“They have had some tragedies over the last couple of months and this will be devastating for them.
“There were two deaths very recently, a motorbike accident and a suicide."
